<\/div>\n

A few months ago, the General Minister announced a \u201cMeeting of Capuchin Lay Brothers\u201d \u2013 the last of which was held 30 years ago and marked an important milestone for the Order at large, yielding new insights into our vocation as Capuchin Friars Minor.<\/p>\n

This time, the meeting will be held on the week of November 3-10, 2025, at the International College of St. Lawrence of Brindisi in Rome.<\/p>\n

The meeting will be attended by lay brothers from all nine Capuchin conferences around the world, who will bring together their experiences, hopes, challenges and dreams in a celebration of God\u2019s gifts of grace and fraternity.<\/p>\n

The Capuchin Lay Brothers\u2019 Meeting will be a time of sharing and reflection on the Lord\u2019s call that we\u2019ve all received to embrace our brotherhood and to walk together in this wonderful vocation, as the motto \u201cVocati una simul ut fratres\u201d signifies.<\/p>\n

Below we present the official logo for the meeting, created by Br. H\u00e9ctor Mauricio Lemus Hern\u00e1ndez, a Salvadoran friar from the Provincial Custody Our Lady of Hope, Guatemala-Honduras-El Salvador.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Boat and brothers:<\/strong> this is the central image for the \u201ccalled together as brothers\u201d theme of the meeting, evoking the profound Gospel notion of going through the world two by two and understanding that we are all in the same boat together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Elements:<\/strong> Sun, birds and water refer to the centennial of the Canticle of the Creatures that we are observing in 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Cross:<\/strong> the front view of the cross alludes to the fact that it is the Lord who guides us in our vocation as brothers; moreover, its figure with an anchor refers to the Jubilee of Hope that we as a Church are celebrating this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Colors:<\/strong> these are the basic colors used in the 2025 Jubilee of Hope logo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          We thank Br. H\u00e9ctor Mauricio Lemus Hern\u00e1ndez for his service and ask for your prayers for the Meeting of Capuchin Lay Brothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
